1929 Chevrolet International Model AC

1929 Chevrolet International Model AC 1929 Chevrolet International Model AC 1929 Chevrolet International Model AC Chevrolets were easily identifiable by their prominent 'bowtie' logo mounted on a chrome-plated radiator shell that rested on a rectangular radiator. Part way through the year, a rumble seat sport roadster was added to the very extensive list of body styles. All were powered by a six-cylinder overhead valve engine that produced 46 horsepower. This was the first year for the Chevrolet six-cylinder engine since 1915. Chevrolet marketed this triumphant return as 'A Six for the Price of a Four.' The wheelbase measured 107 inches, and the length was a comfortable 156 inches.

The six-cylinder engine did well in sales, prompting Henry Ford to hastily introduce the 1932 Ford V8 as competition. Chevrolet would continue to improve upon its six-cylinder unit. It would eventually become known as the 'Cast-Iron Wonder.' It displaced 194 cubic inches and used a solid overhead-valve design in a cast-iron block. The engine was mated to a three-speed manual gearbox that powered the rear wheels. Fuel economy was adequate at 19 mpg on average.

Available options included bumpers in front and rear, side mount tires & covers, trunk rack, external rearview mirror, cigar lighter, running board step plates, wire-spoke wheels, wind wings on the open cars, and rear spare cover.

This example is a Two-Door Sedan that has buck seats and disc wheels. It is painted in a triple-tone paint scheme that includes grey, maroon, and black. The interior is grey tweed. It has a rare rear trunk with spare, directionals, and a rebuilt engine.

1929 Chevrolet International Model AC 1929 Chevrolet International Model AC Chevrolet introduced their 1929 models as 'a six for the price of a four.' The six-cylinder engine had overhead valves, non-pressurized lubrication, a cast-iron block, and a fuel pump to feed the updraft carburetor. The new Chevrolets had freshened styling with a new grille, revised body side moldings, and smaller diameter wheels with fatter tires.

This example is a Landau Sedan that was only available in 1929, and production was limited to just 300 units. Chevrolet sold 600,000 cars in the first six months of 1929.
